Indonesia: Intensified Exports to Africa

The Tanah Abang market in the central part of Jakarta, the textile market on the largest scale in Southeast Asia, is carrying out negotiations for exports to Maputo, the capital of Republic of Mozambique and it is highly likely that the negotiations will come to a successful end. According to the

If these negotiations are successfully completed, the re-entry of Indonesian-made textiles into South African countries is a very strong possibility. The windows of supply to South African countries are the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The Republic of Mozambique, situated in the southeastern part of Africa can act as a hopeful marketing base to South Africa and West African countries.

In North Africa and Central Africa including Somalia and Mali, the share of Indonesian-made textile products was taken by India and China in the past. Dealers in the Tanah Abang market are going to regain this lost market share.
